Hello and welcome back to my blog 😊.

This morning myself and Angela enjoyed a 10 mile walk along the Grantham Canal from Woolsthorpe-by-Belvoir to the end of the canal in Grantham.

Angela had never walked some of this section so it was good that she saw the Grantham end for the first time.

It was a much milder morning than we have had recently, so that although it was breezy it was not bitter cold. There was still ice on the surface of the canal and it was interesting watching the swans waddling on the ice.

This section of towpath is in good order and a nice surface to walk on.

The miles slipped by along this tranquil section of canal. We passed under Harlaxton bridge and headed towards where the A1 was built on top of where the canal used to run.

Nearing the A1 we passed a new landing stage so I couldn’t resist having a walk along it.

Passing under the A1 we followed the canal to its destination in Grantham. The end part of this section was not brilliant – a lot of supermarket trollies and plastic/metal bottles/cans had been thrown into the canal.

Having reached the end of the canal we headed back towards Woolsthorpe. The towpath was busier at this stage – cyclists and dog walkers. The sun was shining and we were soon back at the car. We await the arrival of storm Isha this evening hoping that it doesn’t wreak too much damage.

Happy Walking! 😊
